The developments to-day in i. ).
Wheeler Il Co. s failure have been very
meaere and unsatisfactory. y formal

No statement OF the liabilities and as
sets were filed and ali attempts to Learn
the names OF the banks and business
inter, sted ard the amount o; money In
VOWED have tailed and every effort to
obtain even an approximate estimate
hes elected eyasiye replies. The la
Lilitics ere estimated at from
SlCIc. GOO to 2,O0O, 00Q. and local
hanks are sad to hold Wheelors
paper for the following amounts: Me
chanics National Bank, $4,000; City
pank, $4,000; Yale National Bank,
$4,000; First National Bank, $40, 900.
The National Tradesmen's Bank holds
a large block of Wheeler's paper, as do
the Merchants National and the New
Haven County National, but they de-
cline to give any information as TO the
amount. Brown, Brothers d Co., OF
New York. are reported as heavy car
riers of Wheeler's paper, and strong
belief prevails that it is held in quite
lorge amounts in most of the principal
cities in the United states.

AhBuQuERQUE, n. NJ, SeptembcrG.-
A desperate shooting affair occurred
Sunday night at Holbrook, Apache
county, Ariz., in which Andy Cooper
and half-brothcr, named Samuel
Blcyius, were killed by Sheriff Owens,
and John Blevins and Nose b. Roberts
wounded, the former slightly and the
latter MORALLY. On Monday OF last
week Sheriff Owens learned that the
iour men had arrived in Holbrook and
were residing in Il small house near the
railroad track armed with a Winchester
The officer started alone to arrest the
Gcsperadocs. Arriving at the house he
Knocked, and, upon the door being
opened by Andy Cooper, the officer in
formed him that he had a warrant for
his arrest. The only reply he received
was bullet, which passed through the
sherifl's coat, fortunately without in
Turing him. The fire was returned, and
Cooper fell dead. Shooting then be-
came general. Owens took position
at the window, shooting all three of the
men inside the house. Samuel Bleyins,
one of the killed, is a boy only four
teen years of age, but fully as despc-
rate as lis older companions.

Ghe Presidency OF the Baltimore

[By telegraph 10 the Dispatca.l


New YORK, September 6.-There
were numberless rumors on Wall street
to-day in regard TO the presidency OF
the Baltimore and Ohio, it being gen
orally conceded that at the next cleo
ton, which takes place in November,
Robert Garrett will be succeeded by
Vice-President Spencer or A. j. Cas-
satt. John Newell, president of the
Lake Shore, was also mentioned as
being candidate for the presidency,
but this is denied by the Vanderbilt
people. The point upon which more
interests attach, however, is whether
the deal viii be followed by the sale OF
the telegraph to the Western Union.
J. Pierrepont Morgan refused to deny
the rumois that the statements in re-
gard to another deal, probably in
Guiding settlement OF the telegraph
war. would be made in a few days. He
said, however, that there were no new
DEVELOPMENTS to record to-day.
